EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back to the late 17th century in England, showcasing the elegant and ornate attire of both men and women during the Cavalier Period, specifically between 1675 and 1680. The woman in the photograph wears a simple yet elegant gown, featuring a bodice adorned with intricate ornamentation, and a long cloak that adds an air of sophistication and grandeur. Her attire reflects the changing fashion trends of the time, as the ponderous farthingales and extravagant ruffs of the previous era gave way to a more streamlined and uncluttered look. The man in the photograph embodies the aristocratic and noble style of the Cavalier aristocracy. He dons a lace falling collar or cravat, which was a popular accessory among the upper classes, and a vest that replaced the traditional doublet. His fur-lined coat, complete with half sleeves, not only kept him warm but also added a touch of opulence to his appearance. The coat's simple design, however, was a departure from the elaborate and voluminous garments of the past. This photograph offers a glimpse into the world of the English Cavalier aristocracy and nobility during the late 17th century. The elegance and refinement of their attire reflect the changing social and cultural landscape of the time, as the country moved towards a more modern and streamlined aesthetic. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of this era, which continues to captivate and inspire us today.
